Youth Programs

In Code Quest, students in grades 4 through 12 learn about the history of computers and engage in logic puzzle games to grasp complex computing concepts. The program offers a hands-on mechanical computing experience that enriches students’ understanding of STEM principles.

The program is 75 minutes long and can accommodate a maximum of 30 students. It can also be combined with another field trip program as a Combo Experience.

“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. You are listening to the crystal clear sounds of KPAV!”

Designed for students in grades 3 through 6, the Broadcast Experience teaches the history and science of electronic communication. Students will also create a live radio broadcast and compete against each other in a TV-style game show. The Broadcast Experience allows students to have fun while learning about history, science, and technology, and it often leaves them eager to return to the Pavek Museum soon.

To schedule the Broadcast Experience, please contact the Education Manager by email or by phone at 952-926-8198.

In the Electromagnetism Experience, students in grade 3 through 6 explore the fundamentals of electromagnetism, the force that powers our modern world. Through a series of hands-on experiments, students learn about the relationship between electricity and magnetism. The experience ends with a scavenger hunt in the museum.

To schedule the Electromagnetism Experience, please contact the Education Manager by email or by phone at 952-926-8198.

Make the most out of a visit to the Pavek Museum with the Combo Experience. The Combo Experience allows two unique programs in one day, combining the Broadcast and Electromagnetism Experiences into a single field trip.
